For those who have been following this project and those new to my following... I've been working on a HUGE "upcycling" project of taking down a 1,100 square foot house that I've received for FREE... YES! You've heard that right! Back in March, this year, I've seen a Facebook ad that said, "FREE" on a photo of a house. I thought it was some kind of gimmick; but, after calling on it, and going out to see it, I got the house for FREE! The only catch was that I had to take it down and remove it from this guy's property (he had built a brand new house and didn't want the old house on his property. Well, it's been in "the works" now... this take down project since the middle of March, and here's some photos to show you all where I'm currently at during this huge undertaking:
In this photo, you can see the roof is finally gone!
This is the back side of the house where you can see ALL the dismantled roof rafters. They are of hard oak wood! And were quite heavy each.
...and here they are transported and unloaded at my property to be reused in future building projects of mine.
The second floor of the house with the roof taken off
The second floor looking at the bathroom below
Another view of the bathroom below which is clad with white cedar boards! This bathroom will be rebuilt as is onto our future cabin build project.
The staircase in which I will take down and rebuild as seen onto another future build project of mine.
And a close up of this hardwood floor that I will refurbish and will go into my future build project.
And lastly... just had to show you the beautiful backwoods country road I drive down to go to this house in Tennessee!
I have more photos on the way for a very short future post which will show the removal of the all the hardwood flooring and the floor joists. This has been a major project undertaking and I have been doing this SOLO with no help. If you don't know much of my background, I'm a disabled war veteran doing this project! I hope you enjoy this and my past posts on this and all my tiny house projects. Just remember, when you upvote this or any of my posts, you are supporting a disabled veteran.
Thanks for viewing my post and for your support!
